Mr. Morrison. With giant strength he seized
the creature upon the bed and flung her off.
It was woman, with waxy white face and
wild, demoniac eyes. He snatched the pill
low and heavy covering from Shirleys
senseless form. He lifted her, he famed her
with his hand, called her his Shirley, his
darling, he implored her to speak to him.
The wild woman flew at him like a pam

Two strong men had followed Inn in through
the window One Of them carried a strait
jacket. He gave her into their hands. 1t

Shirley opened her eyes. The wild woman
saw it, and made as If she would spring at
her again. But the two keepers had got her

Mr. Morrison motioned them to be gone.

The wild woman snarled at him like a saw

Morrison last look of helpless rage, and
muttered:

Shirley heard her say it. She lived over
the horror of those few moments in her
dreams, sometimes in after years, and would
waken to find herself standing upright,
shrieking frightfully, her brow wet with
drops of cold perspiration.
She had heard the wild woman mutter:

The master stood still by the door with a
deathly pale face, and blood dripping from

ON TO THE STATE LINE
ne Engineers of the st s.nui> X CoIo-
rado Pressing This Way.

HS engineering corps If the St.
Louis \ Colorado have passed
through Clinton and are pushing
this way a fast as possible. as the
following extract from the Clinton
Democrat Will show.
Late yesterday afternoon the St.
L.. X. c. X c. railroad engineers en-
tered the city from the east locating
their line, They crossed the corpor
alton line southeast of the X. G.. x
, depot. and ran little south of
West and cro>sedthe Tebo mill pond
passing on bearing directly to the
west along Mill street dropping into
the draw between Clinton and ne
gro town and striking directly for
Mlddlecotf,S mill and will cross
Town creek not far from the mill and
then turn south of west and make
connection with the preliminary sur
vev run last spring from Fl. Scott.
This morning the camp was moved
to point on Grand river beyond
the wooden bridge on the Clinton
and Butler road, and the corps Of
fourteen men under Charlie Emer-
son, with Maj. Phinneyas as chief, con
tinued their labors of locating the
line through town.
Their orders received to-day is.
to hasten with all expedition to the
state line. there to connect with the
road that is already graded.
The camp profiles made out every
night at camp are thoroughly relia
bic and show the line to be a good
one, and little time will be required
to make out complete profile and
estimate Of the entire route when the
state line is reached.
By the engineers it is thought that
the orders toexpedite matters means
that the work of construction is to
be begun as soon rs it is possible to
get the surveyors out of the way
When work is again begun on con
struction no tagging will be ulged,
every part of dirt moved that it is
possible to handle, in order to have
the road as near completion by the
time cold weather begins, as men and
money can make it.
| The preliminary survey alluded TO
above is the same made by Mr.. EN-
erson from Ft. Scott through Butler
to Clinton in the early spring.
